Ninth plenary meeting of the European Platform tackling undeclared work

The ninth plenary meeting of the European Platform tackling undeclared work (the “Platform”) was held online on 5-6 October 2020.

The first day of the plenary was dedicated to a thematic discussion on tackling undeclared work in the collaborative economy and related to new forms of work. The intention was to enable Platform members and observers to engage in mutual learning around policy solutions as well as to identify the areas where national and/or collective action at the EU level could be required.

The thematic half-day webinar consisted of an introductory session on tackling undeclared work in a changing labour market, followed by presentations on two topics: tackling bogus self-employment and tackling undeclared work in the collaborative economy. A cross-cutting additional theme addressed throughout the presentations and discussion was how the COVID-19 pandemic had resulted in new trends in the labour market and affected undeclared work in the collaborative economy and bogus self-employment.
